The hot wiener or New York System wiener

The hot wiener or New York System wiener is a staple of the food culture of Rhode Island. It is typically made from a small, thin frankfurter made of veal and pork, thus giving it a different taste from a traditional hot dog made of beef. Once placed in a steamed bun, the wiener is topped with a meat sauce seasoned with a myriad of spices like cumin, paprika, chili powder and allspice, which is itself covered in finely chopped onions, celery salt and yellow mustard.

Wiener Sites...there just wasn't any other name that fit

The term New York System

The term New York System originated in the early 1900s, when hot dogs began appearing in Rhode Island but were still associated primarily with New York. Although now referred to exclusively as wieners, "New York System" is still used to advertise the distinct style of preparation refined by Providence's Greek immigrant community in the 1940s.

The traditional New York System preparation

The traditional New York System preparation has the cook balancing as many as dozens of buns along his forearm and applying the toppings with his free hand, a method called "up the arm." Because of their size, patrons will often order three or four wieners at once. Wieners with all of the standard toppings are ordered "all the way."

The Olneyville New York System

Olneyville New York System, in Providence's Olneyville neighborhood, is often cited as the "definitive" or "quintessential" vendor and dates to its opening by Greek immigrant Anthony Stevens in 1946. Stevens' cousin Gust Pappas ran Original New York System in the Smith Hill neighborhood, which claims its own founding as 1927. Still another institution, Coney Island System, claims an earlier date of 1915. There are dozens of establishments across the state that offer wieners, and the question of which is "best" is often contentious among residents

Del's Lemonade

If you are looking for a place to go for a nice cool non alcoholic drink, then Del's serves frozen lemonades. Reason enough to make it to our top restaurant list. These can be found all over Rhode Island, and they are sold at stands and at corner shops through out town. The best way to drink it is straight from the cup, while the ice slowly melts away. What more can you ask on sweaty hot summer days.

powwow \POU-wou\, verb:. To confer. . A ceremony, esp. one accompanied by magic, feasting, and dancing, performed for the cure of disease, success in a hunt, etc.. A council or conference of or with Native Americans. Powwow derives from the Narragansett tribal word for a spiritual leader who receives guidance from dreams.

Modern Diner

Modern Diner: The first ever diner was invented in 1872 in Providence by an entrepreneur, Walter Scott. He decided to serve food from a freight wagon, which was horse-drawn. The diner's mobility lead to it being a great hit. Scott, soon had a roaring business, because he was moving his shop to where ever the people needed food. The meals served in diners are simple and hearty. The Modern Diner, at 13 Dexter Street, in Pawtucket is one such place, and it has made it to our list of top restaurants in Providence, by the sheer taste of the historic food served.
